Bulfinch Cos. will add another biotech tenant to a Needham property that it’s updating with additional lab space this year.
Evolved By Nature leased 43,000 square feet at 117 Kendrick St. Founded in 2013, Evolved By Nature develops silk-based ingredients for use in textiles, skin care and medical treatments.
The 213,000-square-foot office and lab building at Needham Crossing includes a mix of life science and office tenants, including ABio-X Holdings, Xenon Pharmaceuticals, Candel Therapeutics, Verastem Oncology, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Workbar, BBK Worldwide and C&W Services. 117 Kendrick now is 92-percent leased, and Bulfinch Cos. plans to convert another 18,000 square feet to lab-ready space this year.
Newmark’s Mark Roth and Matt Malatesta represented ownership in the Evolved by Nature lease, while Colliers’ Bill Lynch and John Carroll represented the tenant.
